Health Tip of the Day

A Smooth Way to Go

Smoothies are a tasty way to meld fruit and milk or yogurt into a refreshing drink. Use low-fat or non-fat milk or yogurt, and it's an even healthier snack. Next time you make a smoothie, let the blender run a little longer than usual to whip more air into it. An air-filled smoothie will fill you up so you'll eat less later, according to researchers at Pennsylvania State University.
